The
2012 Lagos Countdown is a world-class celebration of the end of one year and
the beginning of another…Lagos Style. The series of event will take place at
Eko Atlantic City (Ahmadu Bello way through Bar Beach stretch until Eko
Atlantic Office). The event is being conceived to create an end of year
crossover tradition that would engage citizens of the state (and visitors)
throughout the end of year holiday season.

The
event will take special significance at the Eko Atlantic City particularly
because all of the land that was washed away by the ocean over 50 years ago,
which is now being reclaimed.

Speaking
at a news briefing prior to the commencement of the event, the managing
director of LASAA, Mr. George Noah, said the Lagos Countdown Event will be in
the form of that witnessed in major cities of the world like Time Square, New
York and Trafalgar Square, London.

With a maximum of 15,000 participants followed by a specially
created audio midnight countdown and a 20-minute live show anchored from the
rooftop of Avenue Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, the countdown, which
includes appearances by top music artists, will showcase display of lights,
music, fireworks, pyrotechnics and lighting effects to signify the commencement
of the New Year at the Eko Atlantic City on December 31 from 8pm.

This maiden edition of the Lagos Countdown is sponsored by GT
Bank, Indomie Noodles, Avenue Suites, DStv, Pepsi, and is powered by Star Lager
Beer.

I was planning to go there till i heard pyrotechnics...Omo forget na watch night service i dey go.

Naija needs prayer and piety no be New York style countdown ball shit at this stage, save that money and feed/create work for those annoying barbeach dwelling touts that destroy tourism on that very beach...we are not there yet.

Prince Charming, i always thought you reside here in Lagos...But it's all good..The countdown is something me and my hommies are looking forward to, and we all know it's gonna be a massive might...#AintNoPartyLikeALagosParty

Nigerians like to copy without thinking.... How can the organisers not know our culture of going to church for the crossover? Stupid people.... So u'd rather encourage drinking and partying till the New Year than gathering at church praying for this Nation. Oshisko... If they had done their homework, they'll know that people party AFTER the church service

Why do you guys make such dumb comments,the crossover party is a novel idea to sell lagos to the world.For the more religious type pastor adeboye and the chief imam of lagos will come live on screen during the prog. to offer their prayers

Who exactly are u referring to as dumb here? U must be part of the organisers. U r such a joke....saying Lagos is trying to sell herself to the world. Have the govt succeeded in selling the state to its citizens?

I hope the governor knows that you dedidate a state to God first before other things. The way he is going hmmmmmm na wa o. May God have mercy. Fyne cosmetics 94 tombia extention new g.r.a port harcourt

Biko whose culture is to go to church for cross over? Speak for yourself iyo. What if am muslim or pagan abi na only christians dey Lagos? Be considerate and tolerant. If you wan go church, then by all means go and don't criticise those going to party.

Like seriously, should not be in church talking 2 God as we enter another year, we have serious problem in Nigeria. And sum silly people wud carry der leg and go, may God have mercy on all us. we need 2 get our Priority rite #justsaying

Thank you for letting them know what is in for them n not just partying n dancing...anyway u guys shud stoppin bein pessimists n come n be counted at the inaugural edition of this countdown..everynite till then is happening live
